I just finished putting in my Clarion DRX9675z head unit and my Rockford 4ch 700 watt amp. I mounted the amp upside down where the stock Mach 460 amp would be. It is a perfect fit, no wires, very nice. I now have Kenwood 120 watt 6x8's in all four corners. I will put in my 1200 watt 2ch and my solobaric S12L7 whenever I have a spare weekend. I have 4 clarion 6 1/2's 120 watt door speakers for sale. Email if interested: TGMarks@mail.com I will have pics up of the setup as soon as I get some.

*New update* 10-16-03
I just added a set of clear corners. Much better then the stock ones.

*Another update* 10-25-03
I finally put in my sub and amp. That took a long time. Built the sub box myself with alot of help from my dad. Props to him taking time out of his weekend for it. Thanks. It sounds great and pics will go up as soon as I can scan them into the computer.

Nice front view with the hood pins

Clean engine bay (not done yet)

Another front view

Interior view

Nice view of drivers seat and rollcage

Rear view

Moroso switch panel and B&M shifter w/nitrous button (The trans is switched to a 5-speed manual with a Hurst short throw shifter, I just don't have fresh pics up)

Another rear view (I removed the sticker on the back)

New clear corners. I'm gettin the headlights cleaned to they don't look so crappy.

Pic of the Holley fuel pump

New shifter and tranny. Although I do miss the C4, the 5-speed is much more practical.
Christmas poem:

Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light,
Was an 03' Cobra Coupe and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this damn Cobra, even with it's big power,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The Cobra erupts in clouds of tire smoke,
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,
Racing ahead I'm the Star of the Action,
But I know I'm in trouble when that Cobra gets traction,
Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing,
My mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing,
I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep that four-banger straining,
In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast,
And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past,
Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in fling,
"You may not win any, in that silly thing",
I scowled and revved and let out a sigh,
And did my trademark high-speed ricer fly-by.

Merry X-Mas!

I thought I'd tell you guys a bit about myself. My first car was an 84 mustang LX convertible and we put in an 89 GT engine in it (a little above stock :) ). Then I had a 94 Camaro Z-28 convertible. Very fun. Now I have this one. A lot more fun. Haha. I have changed out almost everything and fixed almost everything that I can myself without having to have my car on a lift. I'm not a rich spoiled kid. I work full time and go to college full time. I pay for everything of mine as opposed to some of you rich kids. Don't get me wrong, if I was rich I'd do the same thing, but I would still work, and I would NOT flaunt it. That just shows what a snobbish fag you are if you do. Congrats for being blessed with cash, but we aren't all so lucky, so there's no need to rub it in.
Rantings:
I don't hate stock, or near stock imports. Imports are nice for fuel economy, and everyday driving. Chicks are allowed to do whatever they want to their cars, because they're girls, and it's cool to see a girl fixin up her car or truck or whatever. I hate rice. Plain and simple. Props to "personalizing your car" (because that's what you call it), but don't put all that gay ricer crap on there. Seat belt pads aren't cool. RPM's don't mean a damn thing, sorry to burst your bubble. You don't win a race simply because you left the stoplight ahead of the Buick next to you. That high-pitched weed-eater noise coming from the back of your car does not sound good. If you put $10k into a domestic V-8 and your best import, 5 of 5 times the V-8 will beat the import. It's just a fact of life. Double the horsepower means double the ass-kicking.
There are ways of making imports fast and desirable very tastefully, but unfortunately very few people know how to do it right. I've seen a few, but the majority is unoriginal, tasteless, and ignorant. If I've pushed any buttons yet, guess what? I don't care. I don't hate chevy's, ford's, or pontiacs. We domestics are all on the same side, so chill out. My favorite car used to be a black on black trans-am ram-air ws-6 w/ t-tops. I've owned a fox, f-body, and this pony I have now. I love f-bodies and think it sucks that GM discontinued them. Now the only competition domestics have (speaking of new cars) is the mustang against rice. And the new '04 cobra does it pretty damn well. Leave the imports to the 20 and 30 somethings, which their advertising is meant for. European cars rock. German engineering is incredible. If they weren't so expensive I would own one. Preferably an SL55. Vette's, Porsche's, Ferraris, Vipers, and the like are all in a category of their own, so don't compare them to rice or pony cars. I appreciate the wrench time everyone puts into their cars, don't get me wrong. To make anything better than it was before takes work. I'm just sorry that ricers are so misguided in their styling choices and accenting. It is completely retarded to put type-r on cars that aren't. SI on base models, and different emblems on different cars. I don't care if your making yours different or not. You aren't. The emblem SI is not made for accuras or integras. The huge spoilers you people put on cars are ugly and non-functional. If you knew anything at all you would understand that spoilers do not work until over 110 mph, and half of your cars can't reach that speed anyway. If you have some attempt at a rebuttal or any thoughts whatsoever, leave it in my guestbook. I appreciate all the positive comments on my car. Thanks. I have replied to everyone that has posted in my g/b, so what goes around comes around. And the best cars are the old ones. 70 Chevelle 454 SS, Shelby cobra 427, Shelby Mustang GT500, 69 Camaro RS/SS, '61 Corvette and nearly every big-block domestic every built. Thanks and have a nice day.

Ok, what's with people trying to sound like the know something??? Here is the first part of the 1st post by someone named BigMaya:

"Hey man I was reading the info on your car and you said If you put 10 grand into a domestic v-8 and your best import the domestic would win 5 out of 5 times. Lets do some math here, ok in 1991 a Chevy Vette L89 cost 31 grand and a Dodge Stealth rt/twin turbo cost 29 grand..."

Ok, I stopped reading after I got this far. Let's do an I.Q. test. Which one of these is an import?
A. 1991 Chevy Vette L89
B. Dodge Stealth RT/TT

Give up? Neither. They are both domestics you idiot. The DSM engines are made in America. It really doesn't get any more domestic than that. Therefore the rest of your post was null and void and not worth reading since you obviously cannot tell the difference b/w a domestic and import.
